04 June 2020 "Strong cooperation is needed between peoples, between markets and countries. The European Union seems to have accepted this challenge. This project is very important and will make decisive countries move forward. It foresees a fund for the recovery from 750 billions of euros. " The Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, said in his speech at EY Digital Talk "Italia Riparte. Analysis, perspectives and strategies for post-Covid-19 Italy".

Modernize the country
"It is a historic opportunity to recover the growth gap that has moved us away from other European countries", added Conte: "With the emergency we risk seeing a gap between fiscal capacity, it would mean destroying Europe. The government is working for a plan. We must modernize the country with incentives to digitize electronic payments, strengthen the interconnection between banks. Smartworking has shown us the importance of reducing the digital divide in our country. "



We reform the Public Administration
In addition to this, "support the production chains with all investments and fiscal measures". Furthermore, "we want to carry out a reform that allows public administrators to be swift in their administration, better limiting tax liability and more controls on delays, on the inertia of the public official, for example when more money is spent than budgeted".

Young people and research
And again: "A green new deal" and "thousands of places for young researchers, to bring our young people back from abroad and start a public and private research program to face the great challenges of the future. If we think speeding up the times we can find a great synergy with all the political forces of the country ". 

The importance of the Recovery Plan
"In the next few days I will complete a job that we have already started with the committee led by Colao. We will have the general states of the economy at Palazzo Chigi with all the economic and social forces of the country to be able to advertise and share with everyone this our Recovery plan. The sums that will come from the Recovery Fund are not a treasure, but a resource for the future of the country ".

GDP at the levels of 20 years ago
"The challenge of the restart that we have before us cannot end in a return to normal: the GDP will return to the levels of 2000 with this crisis, we have the duty of a choral effort for a real revolution in skills, the The development model in western countries, despite having created a lot of wealth, has not strengthened social cohesion, it requires an extraordinary investment in healthcare, welfare, education, infrastructure and transport and digital connectivity ". 

The pillars
"We have a series of difficulties due to the slowdown and interruption of many activities in the production and economic system. During this period, doctors and nurses on the front line, workers in the large-scale distribution, the food supply chain, and all the productions that continued to operate during the lockdown were the pillars of our country. In the meantime, the offices of the private and public, schools, universities and research have made a great effort to adapt and innovate , using agile work on a scale never experienced before, and which we would never have thought of experimenting ".

Support for non-
workers "A great deal of uncertainty has pervaded, at various levels, all those who have had to stop their activities: entrepreneurs, traders, self-employed workers, show business workers, sports workers, and many others. a financial emergency immediately flanked us, of which we are not yet able to know the extent of it. In the face of such a critical scenario, the Government has made available to the economy 80 billion euros of direct interventions in deficits to strengthen health care, support workers' income, reduce the tax burden, help families, and has activated public and private guarantees, for example making it easier to capitalize businesses, various moratoriums on bank loans. it was necessary to field these resources, which exceed the size of two financial maneuvers, it was also an opportunity to start drastically cutting some bureaucratic steps the excessive, as happened for example in the case of the procedure for layoffs in derogation ".

Keep an eye on the South
"Over the past 13 years, over 2 million people have left Italy, especially draining the South of many of its most precious energies. We have the duty, all together, of a choral effort to recover this" lost twenty years ", to rebuild a development based on social cohesion, sustainability, technological innovation and a real revolution in skills".

Justice reform 
"It remains central, in this context, to complete a reform of criminal and civil justice and the civil code. It is unthinkable that, compared to other countries such as France or Germany that have introduced significant reforms in recent years, our code civil dating back to 1942 and you still don't have the strength, the will, the ability to reform it organically. Some of these reform projects are already being examined by Parliament, so we have already presented the delegation laws. work for the approval, we will be able to approve them in a short time and start immediately with the legislative decrees. We need political will, we need determination. We reform the civil code, we reform the civil process to speed up the time, and we also intervene on the criminal justice a great debate in public opinion. If we think about the possibility of speeding up the times, I think we can truly find a great synergy with all the political forces and in any case with the best forces in the country ".
